FBI Seeks OmegaPro Ponzi Victims for Ongoing Investigation
On May 19, 2025, the FBI’s San Juan Field Office launched a victim identification form for the OmegaPro Ponzi scheme, seeking information from those who suffered losses between 2018 and 2023, as reported by BehindMLM. OmegaPro, a Dubai-based MLM crypto scam promising 200-300% ROI over 16 months, collapsed in November 2022, defrauding millions globally, with estimated losses exceeding $100 billion. The FBI believes the scheme, run by co-founders Andreas Szakacs, Mike Sims, and Dilawar Singh, primarily targeted vulnerable investors in countries like Colombia (39%), Argentina (16%), and Nigeria (10%). Victims are urged to submit details via the FBI’s confidential form to aid the federal investigation, which may offer restitution or legal rights under U.S. law.
Key Figures and Legal Developments
Andreas Szakacs, a Swedish national, was arrested in Turkey on July 10, 2024, under the alias “Emre Avci,” with $160 million in stolen funds traced to his devices. He remains in Maltepe prison, Istanbul, pending financial fraud charges. Dilawar Singh, a German national last reported in Spain, remains at large, with unconfirmed surveillance by authorities. Mike Sims, a U.S. resident in Florida, settled CFTC fraud charges related to the SAEG Capital Ponzi for $250,000 in late 2024 but faces scrutiny for funneling OmegaPro funds into The Traders Domain, where he allegedly stole $84.7 million. Eric Worre, a prominent MLM figure, joined OmegaPro as Strategic Coach in May 2022 and promoted its reboot, Go Global, which collapsed by May 2025 with only 4,300 monthly website visits. Worre and his wife Marina face allegations of earning millions through recruitment bonuses, with a RICO class-action lawsuit filed in Florida on August 31, 2024, targeting them and other promoters like Jordan Belfort and Steven Seagal.
Future Outlook and Victim Action
The FBI’s investigation, potentially linked to a recent indictment, signals intensifying U.S. efforts, though details remain undisclosed. The CFTC’s 2023 lawsuits against SAEG and Traders Domain suggest broader scrutiny of OmegaPro’s financial networks. Victims are encouraged to submit evidence (e.g., WhatsApp messages, crypto wallet transactions) to the FBI’s San Juan office, as emphasized by Mike Sims in a 2023 video seeking information to aid authorities. However, Sims’ claims of being a mere “strategic advisor” are contradicted by evidence of his co-founder role. With Singh still at large and Dubai’s lax enforcement, recovery remains challenging. Investors should contact the FBI directly and consult lawyers for legal queries, as BehindMLM cannot assist individually.
